"You bailed out a Jamaican street named Monkey the other day, I want him. This other piece of shit, Screwface, I want him. I know you're a scumbag and a puke, I don't mind that, but give me what I need and I'll leave here a nice guy. If you don't, I'm gonna fuck you up. "

For DVD owners it's worth noting that the HMV Exclusive 2-Disc DVD will include the following extras on the bonus disc: ■“Re-Forging the Future” – Go behind the scenes of Terminator Salvation with an exclusive set tour. ■“The Moto-Terminator” - See how the Terminator Salvation visual effects crew and Ducati partnered to create the slick and deadly Moto-Terminator! ■Plus, 11 mini featurette focus points spotlighting how the ground-breaking special effects were created!

The Play.com exclusive steelbook DVD release is just the 1-disc barebones release.

Finally, the film is also available to buy as part of a Terminator 1-4 DVD box set, priced at £34.99 RRP, and as a Collector’s Edition Blu-ray with life-size Skull packaging for £74.99 RRP.

I will be getting the Blu-Ray. It's will be a blind buy from me but I hope it's atleast better than T3.

It's a mystery. I don't like mysteries! They give me a bellyache, and I've got a beauty right now.

Al Swearengen: "Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back".

Long time lover of Terminator to a point that I even sorta liked T3! I avoided this film in the cinema cause I just wasn't interested and now fancy getting the DVD.

So I stroll into the DVD shop and see two separate DVDs - a 1disc vanilla and a 2disc with a fancy skull case and extras both with a '1hr 50' run time.

Bluecock release has a "director's cut" 135min release.

Am I right in thinking that someone fucked up and the Stingray release isn't 135mins and there's no director's cut on DVD? If it's an extra 3minutes then yeah that's rubbish but christ's sake! Why not make a proper director's cut? Lotsa people downloadin' and all that.... prime retail oppurtunity before xmas...

I bought the directors cut blu-ray, you have the option of watching the normal or directors cut. TBH there doesn't seem to be that much different. Why cut the boob scene in the first place? It's not like you see them properly. The DC runs at 117 mins.

So that's an extra 7mins on the standard theatrical version?

Damn, there's gotta be a proper director's alternate version due out in a 20disc box set with a life sized skeleton!

some of this still isnt included (no shots of nuked skeletons in a church, or the scene showing hybrid Skynet workers - the former at least would have been welcome) is there really a 135 min version or is this just mis-information ?

T3 isn't a disaster. It was unfortunately by the numbers but it's a watchable and enjoyable film. It lacked the epic scope it followed and of course it'd have made sense for the third Terminator to be the big future war that T4 apparently is. But c'mon, T3 isn't the sack of shit people make it out to be.

It's amazing how opinions change once there's a sequel like in this case.

They did film a LOT more. But it seems like they were changing so much as they went along that the deleated stuff simply wouldn't fit in. Without the ending, none of what came before makes sense. Carter had to leave set due to a berevement - she was suppose to be like Marcus, but changed it to a face on screen.

Will we ever see it? I suspect maybe once the rights have been bought we will have a better idea.

No it was a bad joke version of T2, verging on parody. This was at least an entertaining robot action flick without any cleavage inflating or stripper glasses scenes.

Arnie was miscast in it and shouldn't have been there. The joke with the Elvis style sunglasses was awful. It was a decent midway film that could've set up a sequel in the same sorta vein as Back to the Future part II. No it's not fantastic but it's not as abysmal as people are now saying it is.

I don't think that they were sure that Arnie would give them permission so if they had to, the T-800 would appear with skin everything but the head. The grenade was just to make sure the effect didn't stay around for long.
